Alright, it’s not obviously Steampunk, but in my head Samuel was wearing a top-hat, and the machine was brass and copper, powered by steam and clockwork… But I didn’t have much room for description.

Also: I tried to make this story sequel itself, but it seems you can’t sequel a story that doesn’t exist yet. C’est la vie.

So rather than sequel itself, I wrote another ficly to act as glue… I hope you like it also.

Neat trick.

The sequel/prequel thing hurt my mind for a bit.

This was very fun! I like how the each ficly starts with the first few words in capitals like in some old books.

On the steam punk note, you could make his watch a pocket watch! For some reason pocket watch instantly says steam punk to me before anything else.

Highly readable and just twisty enough for a good mind-bending time travel account.

Loving the last line but still trying to get my head around a smallish time machine. Though in hindsight “BEAM Me Up Scottie” was remote controlled.mmm.

Good point about writing ‘pocket’ watch… In my mind, he checked a pocket watch, but I didn’t even think to describe it as such.

Fixed his watch.
